In spite of their first petulant or dolorous anticipation, and of the contrast between the even tenor of country life and the constant stream of amusement which young people of fashion can find in a place like Bath, the two girls discovered that time glided pleasantly enough over them at Pulwick.
You was allus her favoryite, ye know, miss our Sally was wet-nurse to Miss Maddyline, but Madam had you hersel'. Well, miss, I'd brought you well lapped up i' my shawl an' William Shearman that was Thomas Shearman's son, feyther to William an' Tom as lives over yonder at Pulwick village well, William was standin' in 's great sea-boots ready to carry her through th' surf into the boat; an' Mester Adrian Sir Adrian, I mean stood it might be here, miss, an' there was Renny, an' yon were th' t'other gentry.
It is to be doubted whether, through all the vicissitudes of his existence he ever carried into the sheltering ruins a heart more full of cruel pain. When Tanty returned to Pulwick from her travels again, it was to find in Miss Landale the only member of the family waiting to greet her.
Ah, it's they desperate villains has the proper pluck!" Sir Adrian made, at first personally, then through Miss O'Donoghue, two attempts to induce his wife to return to Pulwick, or at any rate to leave Lancaster on the next day. But the contempt, then the fury, which she opposed to their reasoning rendered it worse than useless.
And the old housekeeper, whenever she has an opportunity tries to entertain me about the beautiful foreign lady and the grand times they had at Pulwick when she was here, and 'Sir Tummas' was still alive. "But, though we are made to feel that we are more than ordinary guests, it is not on account of Mr.
For I must wait at Scarthey till I can see Adrian again, and upon your return to Pulwick I must beg you to be the bearer of a message to ask him to come and see me." She replied in a voice that trembled a little: "I will not fail you." But her great eyes, dark circled, fixed upon him with a meek, sorrowful look, spoke dumbly the troublous tale of her mind.
A few minutes later the guests of Pulwick assembled in the library one by one, with the exception of Sophia, still watering the last resting-place of the Rev. Herbert Lee.
René, entering a few moments later, with an open note in his hand, found his master's friend still chuckling, and looked at him inquisitively. "His honour has returned to Pulwick," said he, in puzzled tones, handing the missive. "Ay, lad," answered the sailor, cheerily. Never mind what it was all about, my good man; what I heard was good news.
They looked into each other's eyes; but he was unseeing; his mind was far away, dwelling upon the memory of that last meeting with his love under the fir trees of Pulwick only ten days ago, but now as irrevocably far as things seem that may never again be. At length, she made a movement which brought him back to present reality a movement of her wounded arm as if of pain.
That the infernal little spy, as he deemed his brother's servant, should have made a visit to Pulwick without his knowledge was unpleasant news, and it touched him on his tenderest point.
